Play Bridge & Explore Lake Levico

It is easy to see why the 4-star Hotel Bellavista Relax is called “beautiful view” in Italian. Situated overlooking the waters of Lake Levico, one of the cleanest lakes in Italy, and surrounded by the peaks of the Dolomites, the setting really is idyllic. We have a stunning bridge room, and the hotel has tasteful public lounges, very atmospheric with quality furniture and paintings. Many excellent places to relax inside the hotel or outside on the hotel terraces and in the gardens.

Furthermore, the centre of the delightful Italian Spa town of Levico Terme is a mere stroll from the hotel and is abundant with cafes, tourist and local shops, bars and some beautiful historic buildings including the Terme di Levico. These famous thermal baths date back to the 19th century, and the therapeutic properties are unique in Italy and attract visitors from all over the world to take its waters.

This privileged region is rich in the variety of its territory: lakes, streams, woods, meadows and especially mountains - the unique and spectacular Dolomites.

James & Jane Tullett

James has been playing bridge for over 30 years and is regularly picked for his county. He also enjoys playing in congresses around the country (when his less competitive wife Jane lets him!)

James has run his own furnishing business for over 30 years from his base in Norfolk and recently, with his good friend and fellow First for Bridge host, John Barker, has established the Norfolk Bridge Academy. Between them, they have over 100 pupils learning to play and enjoying the wonderful game of bridge.

Jane has worked as a manager for over 12 years at her local university and then the NHS. She brings her organisational and interpersonal skills to the forefront to make an excellent hosting team with her husband James.

Jane and James have travelled extensively in recent years to explore exotic parts of the world, such as Peru, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. They both enjoy meeting new people, with the emphasis on fun and laughter, which may possibly include a drink or two.
